Nick and Family, my wife (Charmian) and I wish to express our sincere condolences for the loss of your father. I can still remember many good times, as a child, playing with your father at your Grandparents house in Asheville. As we both grew up we went our separate ways – as people due after parents get divorced. The visit I was able to make to see your father several years ago was a real treat. I wish I could have seen more of your father but living in Australia, we must deal with the tyranny of distance. Take Care.
Special times in Heaven….
Sending thoughts and prayers to Tom’s family and friends. His big heart and smile is missed already.❤️
Prayers for the family- fond memories of Tommy when he was in Black Mountain with his horses.
He is in a special spot in heaven, smiling…
